Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- People around me do helpful things all the time and I feel the appreciation but it just stays in my head
- I keep waiting for some big win to feel grateful for, and meanwhile the whole day of small good things
- I write the same three things in my gratitude list every day
- There’s someone who quietly did something that really mattered to me and I never said a word
- I’ve been doing the gratitude thing but my entries all sound the same
